Inside and out this proprietary glaze enhances the form's style and shape. The width of the base and the mouth are similar at about 3.5 inches. At the widest, it is about 7 inches wide. Height is about 7.5 inches. You can see and feel the subtle tan rings around the shoulders in a type of sgraffito technique used by ancient potters and again today.
